    Now I get paid to exercise

    Who would have thought??? Yep, me!! I have struggled the past year with finding time to exercise. Those who know me know that I've been caregiver to my 2 year old grand-daughter and my 78 year old aunt.

    The past 6 months I've had to get up at 1am and exercise and use the treadmill for 1 hour in order to exercise. Its been a struggle to keep positive about it and not turn the alarm off and just crawl back into bed. I got a new job a month ago and that makes it even harder cause now I take baby to sitter, my aunt has had surgery and is recovering in nursing home - now I go visit her everyday after work also ...so its still lots of stress.

    BUT, my luck has changed. My boss has asked me to start teaching aerobic classes to the seniors at the center where I work. I am so excited. Now I can get my exercises in and get paid for it and it won't interfer in my home-time and my responsibilities there. And...I don't have to get up in the middle of the night and exercise anymore. (Now watch me automatically wake up every night out of habit and still exercise) lolol

    Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

      That's really great. Getting up at 1am in to exercise is true dedication, not to mention it must have been so tough.

      What I know:
      1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
      2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
      3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
      4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

              Congratz! That'll certainly make getting the exercise in so much easier!

                        Awesome news Becky!!! And I'm so glad you don't have to get up at night to exercise, anymore. How on earth you managed to do that, is a mystery to me. I thought I was pretty dedicated, getting up at 5.15 am to exercise... but 1 am???? Wow!

                        Congrats on your super new job!

                          That is awesome Becky! I would love to get paid to exercise, lol! What is even better is that I can report back to my dad (who had double knee replacements in October) about you that not only do you get to exercise, you teach a class. I am looking forward to when he is no longer suffering with any pains in the knee. Enjoy teaching the class!
